RCMP in Shawnigan Lake are investigating a fire that claimed a young woman's life in Mill Bay.
Police say officers responded to the early-morning blaze yesterday after a report by the Malahat Nation.
The residence was completely engulfed and four people who were outside were taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
But an 18 year old woman who alerted others to the fire did not make it out of the house, and firefighters found her body inside after extinguishing the blaze.
